What these really worth Para? http://www.wightbay.com/antiques-and-collectables/vintage-tilley-oil-lamp-in/4693229
A lot more than that to the right collector If they are old untouched stock then they are worth the asking price If i had any cash id be asking the seller if he would drop the price for a bulk buy The last one i restored sold for £80 and it wasent boxed
Buy all of them if he will knock £5 of each There is a certain way of lighting them that takes some time to get used too Id but a knackerd one to refurb and practrice on before you turn those mint examples black and Marmite yourself at the same time They are very collectable nowadays as are a ot of functional vintage items Im not a collector of old stuff i just appreciate the workmanship and the quality of old stuff Im a function over form type of guy but some of the old tools are that functional you appr3ciate there form because of it After all the boomerang was a working tool and im sure many members on the forum have a pet dog thats come from a working dog line I know i do Visual appreciation of an item is increased when you use and bond with that tool
